My cookieswap was fun. I have samples of each in the freezer for when I can eat them.

50 minutes to food and water cutoff. Can I finish this bottle of water? Likely. Eat more oatmeal? Doubtful. I ate more today than usual (but it was just oatmeal) and I'm felling full still.

Holiday accomplishment:

I just made donations in my parents' names, who live in Ohio, to the OH ACLU and OH Planned Parenthood. That is their Christmas present!

I always do Heifer donations for the kids, and I took care of that today too. As well as little Amazon gifts as well. One nephew is into novelty socks, the other Transformer Lego, and I'm giving my niece the first three Anne of Green Gables books.

That's pretty much all the presents! Yay.

Since I am outta here on the 18th I really have to get everything finished this week.

Same. I think I'm done with my Christmas shopping except one more gift card.

Oh, man, my poor brother. He slipped & fell in the snow last week and tore his quadriceps tendons.

Ayiyi!

Dana, try not to jab yourself in the recently open wounds.

I realized when I bring the kittens back tomorrow I have to get them all into the carrier together. Dear god.

That seems like an unlikely endeavor without you shedding some blood.

Catnip and salmon in the carrier?

Yay for cookie swaps and ouch compassion for Consuela's brother and Dana. (different computer so I had to add yay and Consuela to my dictionary to get rid of the red squiggly, Consuelo it knew, silly dictionary)

Best wishes for successful kitty wrangling, meara. It amuses me to see David with the cat wrangling suggestions.

Why oh why is it Monday again?

Of course I slept badly (had to pee!) and then woke up irrevocably at 5:30.

I would have thought sleep would be less than sound. You will sleep after! Sending ~ma of whatever variety needed.
